However, our cars do have negative camber in stock form, which is why our tires experience feathering. (at least, I believe this to be the case)

Something I have tried to find out about are crash bolts. A friend with a Mustang runs in FS and has adjusted his camber by installing crash bolts. His explanation of those are
I called my local Inifinti dealer and they had never heard of such a thing. If that is available in the Nissan catalog. I had a hard time explaining it so I can't guarantee my results, but they said no. If only.
"Crash" bolts are made by the manufacturers to allow a car that have been in an accident to be returned to factory alignment specs.
In the case of the S197 Mustangs, the factory collision or "crash" parts consist of two bolts with eccentric plates, one for the lower strut mount and the other for the lca bushing cap. The strut has 1/16" larger bolts holes scribed at the two locations where it bolts to the spindle, which give the template for opening up the bolt hole to allow the eccentric bolt to move the lower portion of the strut in the camber plane...voila, instant camber adjustment! The other bolt, on the lca, is for caster. The range of motion is somewhat limited, since any car that can't be brought into factory spec with a degree's range (+/- .5 camber) of adjustment has other problems...
